CVE-2026-48117
MediumCVSS 6.8Summary
The DroneAware drone detection platform was vulnerable to an account pre-hijacking attack where an attacker could register an account using a victim's email address with an attacker-controlled password before the victim activated the account. Once the legitimate owner activated the account, the attacker-set password became valid, allowing silent account takeover without victim notification.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could take over a victim's account without their knowledge, posing risks of data loss and privacy breaches. Organizations using this platform should be aware of potential security threats to user accounts.
Recommendation
Users are advised to change their passwords after account activation to ensure they have not been compromised. Additionally, organizations should monitor user accounts for unusual activity.

Original NVD description (English source)
DroneAware is a drone detection platform. The centralized DroneAware server backing droneaware.io was vulnerable to an account pre-hijacking attack in which an attacker could register an account using a victim's email address with an attacker-controlled password before the victim completed account activation. When the legitimate owner later activated the account, either by clicking the email verification link or by logging in via Google SSO, the attacker-set password became fully valid, enabling silent and persistent account takeover without any notification to the victim. The vulnerability was fixed server-side on 2025-05-20; no user action is required. Node binaries and self-hosted detection nodes are not affected. There are no workarounds; the fix was deployed server-side and no client-side mitigation is applicable.
